"But when you haven't a sou, / There's only one thing to do / Let's take an old-fashioned walk, / I'm just bursting with talk. . ." What Irving Berlin wrote in 1949 as sung in a marvelous duet by F. Sinatra and Doris Day -- Doris being the most underrated singer of the big band era. (This was in the days before she was a virgin, as Oscar Levant put it.)
